Installation of a PCI-Express graphic card

Instructions
Turn off your PC and disconnect all power supply. Open the computer case and locate the
PCI-Express graphic card slot. To prevent shock, secure yourself with antistatic wrist strap.
Insert the graphic card
PCI-Express-Connector (ill. 1)
PCI-Express-Slot (ill. 2)
Convince yourself that the structure of the slot (ill. 2) and the graphic card connector agree
(ill. 1). Insert the graphic card carefully and without force into the card location. Please
make sure that the graphic card is inserted completely.
Put two fingers to the backmost end of the graphic card and prove that the card fits
correctly into the PCI-Express-Slot (ill. 2).
The most frequent source of error with the installation of the graphic card is that the graphic
card was not inserted correctly into the card slot.
Screw the graphic card to the back plate.
If the graphic card has an additional power connection, connect it with a power cable to the
power supply unit of your computer (maybe an adapter is necessary).
The data bandwidth of PCI express 16x graphic cards amounts up to 8GB/s.
